Okay, let's give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are
serious,
and not just pulling my leg. Keep your sense of humor; because you are
way,
way off the track and you will need that sense of humor.

First, you must think much deeper; that's far too shallow, and it has
nothing at all to do with a transformer or a severely modified
transformer
such as the MEG. Or with any other legitimate COP>1.0 EM power system
(there
are at least 20 or more by various inventors and researchers, in the
U.S.
alone). Since NOT A SINGLE OVERUNITY EM POWER SYSTEM SAVE THE COMMON
SOLAR
CELL HAS BEEN PRODUCED BY OUR ENTIRE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM, then either the
university system (specifically the electrical engineering departments)
is
way off the track, or else COP>1.0 EM systems are impossible. But then
there is that crazy solar cell that has COP = infinity, so COP>1.0 EM
systems are definitely possible. It only takes one white crow to prove
that
not all crows are black.

Try thinking about it this way.

E.g., consider a permanent magnet. It has so-called "static" magnetic
fields reaching out into space indefinitely. But those fields are made
of
photons. Hey! A photon in space is moving at light speed. Else you
must
discard much of modern physics entirely. As Van Flandern pointed out,
this
kind of "static" is like a waterfall, not a FROZEN waterfall! In a
common
waterfall, if it's perfect we see it as a beautiful, static form, just
sitting there. Yet we know that inside it is made of moving components,
every one of which is in motion and continuously being replaced by those
coming along behind it. Yet the "perfect" waterfall sits there in
pristine
beauty, as if it were "static". It is NOT STATIC, BUT IN NONEQUILIBRIUM
STEADY STATE. It has a constant input of water flow, and a constant
output
of water flow.

A source charge is also in a steady state, and it is in disequilibrium
as
well. To really get that solidly expressed, one needs to see how the
charge
appears in quantum field theory, and what it does. The "isolated
charge" is
really a very special kind of dipolarity, and it really does exhibit
broken
symmetry of opposite charges. Therefore, it really is continuously
absorbing
subquantal (virtual) photons from the vacuum, coherently integrating the
energy into observable size, and re-emitting observable photons in all
directions. The basis for that has been in particle physics since 1957,
with a Nobel Prize given to Lee and Yang for predicting that (among
other
broken symmetries).

Yet in the nearly half century since then, it hasn't migrated from the
physics department across the campus to the electrical engineering
department, so they would change their terribly obsolete and flawed
Maxwell-Heaviside electrodynamics model.

Every EM field and potential and joule of energy in an electrical
circuit
comes from the associated charges in that circuit. Further, the energy
is
taken directly from the vacuum in unusual (virtual photon) form, and
transduced into the real EM fields and potentials and their energy.
NONE of
that energy comes from transducing the mechanical energy used to crank
the
shaft of the generator, or the chemical energy dissipated in a battery.

So okay, now accept for a moment that real, observable photons are
pouring
out of the two poles (the two opposite magnetic charges) of the magnet,
continuously --- else there would be no photons available and no fields
either, in the circuit or the earth or anywhere else.

There are no OBSERVABLE photons pouring INTO the permanent magnet or its
poles, as can easily be proven in the lab by just isolating the
permanent
magnet. The permanent magnet doesn't care whether the Earth's magnetic
field is there or not. Doesn't bother it at all. Try measuring to see.

Okay, where does the energy come from that pours continuously out of the
poles of that permanent magnet? What is FURNISHING the energy in the
first
place? What FORM is the energy received in? Why can't the incoming
energy
be detected? Why is it that the answers to those questions have been in
particle physics for more that four decades, and still have not made it
into
electrical engineering?

Or, to quote B. P. Kosyakov, "Radiation in electrodynamics and in
Yang-Mills theory," Soviet. Phys. Usp. 35(2), Feb. 1992, p. 135-142.
Quoting, p. 135: "A generally acceptable, rigorous definition of
radiation
has not as yet been formulated." Again quoting from p. 141: "The
recurring
question has been: Why is it that an electric charge radiates but does
not
absorb light waves despite the fact that the Maxwell equations are
invariant
under time reversal?"

Sen summed it up nicely several decades ago, when he stated: "The
connection
between the field and its source has always been and still is the most
difficult problem in classical and quantum electrodynamics." [D. K. Sen,
Fields and/or Particles, Academic Press, London and New York, 1968, p.
viii.].

Forget electrical power engineering; that model does not even address
the
problem, cannot and does not answer it, nor does it answer what really
powers every electrical circuit and every EM device. Every EM circuit
and
device ever built is actually powered by the active vacuum, via the
energy
furnished in unusual form to every charge, absorbed and transduced by
the
charge into real EM energy, which is then re-radiated to form and
continuously replenish the ordinary EM fields and potentials and their
energy.

Eerily, the common electrical engineering model (Maxwell-Heaviside
electrodynamics) implicitly does assume that every EM field and EM
potential
and joule of EM energy comes from the associated source charges. Yes
indeed. Yet in that same model the source charges have no OBSERVABLE
input
of energy into them at all, or any other form of input energy, as is
easily
verified experimentally. There went your notion that the MEG is tapping
the
Earth's magnetic field. The MEG and every other EM system and circuit is
actually tapping the energy of the vacuum, via its source charges.

So everything you studied in electrical engineering and everything that
your
university professor taught you, assumed that every EM field, every EM
potential, and every joule of energy in the universe is and has been
freely
created out of nothing at all.

This problem (called "the most difficult problem in electrodynamics" for
decades, but hidden and purged from the texts because it is so
embarrassing)
is not taught to students. Most of the professors also just get angry
anymore if it is pointed out, and they themselves were not taught it
when
they were students.

But either one can solve that source charge problem in his model, or
else
his model assumes that the conservation of energy law is false, because
every charge, field, potential, and joule of EM energy in the universe
then
is assumed to violate energy conservation by freely creating energy out
of
nothing at all.

There is no place to run and rationalize this one away, if you are a
serious
researcher. If you are not a serious researcher, then you are wasting
both
your time and mine. Either one believes in and accepts creation of
energy
from nothing at all (as unwittingly do the present electrical engineers,
professors, and texts) and assume the total falsification of energy
conservation (as unwittingly do the electrical engineers, professors,
and
texts) or else the present electrodynamics (electrical engineering) is
incredibly flawed and some of its foundations are just flat wrong and
should
have been corrected long ago. Such as assuming that there is no active
vacuum exchange (falsified for more than seven decades in particle
physics)
and that spacetime is flat (falsified since 1916 by general
relativity). So
the electrical engineering model you have in your head is rather
seriously
flawed, and much of it is already flatly refuted by modern physics.

One must ask: Have you read what broken symmetry is, when and how it was
discovered, etc.? Do you realize what the proven asymmetry of opposite
charges means, or that the common "isolated charge" of classical theory
is
actually a dipolarity of special nature in quantum field theory and thus
exhibits the asymmetry of opposite charges?

Here's another thing you need to know and understand. If you don't
understand it but are serious, then your job is to study this area till
you
understand what I'm talking about. This is hard science. One of the
areas
that is KNOWN AND RECOGNIZED to violate present thermodynamics is strong
gradients -- such as very fast pulse rise times and decay times. As
Kondepudi and Prigogine state in their book, Modern Thermodynamics, p.
459,
not much is known about strong gradients, either experimentally or
theoretically.

But they are KNOWN to violate present thermodynamics. Now in the MEG, we
deliberately use sharp gradients on the rise time and decay time of our
input pulses. If you don't understand why we do that, you have zero
understanding of the MEG.

So don't worry about what powers the MEG, until you know how a magnet
produces its fields and potentials in the first place, or how an
electrical
charge produces its fields and potentials, or what a toroidal coil does,
or
what sharp-edged input pulses do to that same toroidal coil. What you
studied DOES NOT TELL YOU HOW THE CHARGE PRODUCES THE FIELDS AND
POTENTIALS,
and it does not tell you how anything electrical is really powered.

The major factor in enabling COP>1.0 of the MEG is the Aharonov-Bohm
effect
that it employs. And by the way, how many scientific papers on the
Aharonov
Bohm effect have you personally read and studied? A single one? There
are
some 20,000 or so papers on it in the hard physics literature, and on
its
generalization to the Berry phase (just go to Michael Berry's website
and
download some excellent papers!), and on the further generalization to
geometric phase by Aharonov and Anandan. Have you even read the basic
coverage of the Aharonov-Bohm effect that Feynman includes in his three
volumes of sophomore physics published in 1963? Until you understand
the AB
effect, there is no way in this world that you can understand what
powers
the MEG.

Take a simple toroidal coil, e.g. -- a good one. Input some voltage and
current (power). Consider a perfect toroid, for theory's sake. All the
magnetic field energy that your input energy transduced into, is now
localized within the inside of the coils of that toroid. Not a joule
exists
outside the toroid. And that "confined" energy is exactly equal in
magnitude to the energy you yourself input and paid for. Yet also,
outside
the toroid there now has appeared a whale of a lot of additional EM
energy
in unusual form: the curl-free magnetic vector potential A. Hey! You
did
not input ANY EXTRA energy in order to get that EXTRA energy freely
there
outside the toroidal coil.

So where did and does that extra energy come from? How did it get
there?
Why did it appear when you yourself did not input that extra energy?
And
how did this stupid little toroid wind up having more total EM energy in
it
and outside it, than you yourself input to it and paid for?

When you understand that, you will understand the operation of the MEG.
So
long as you don't, you won't have the foggiest notion how the MEG works.

Look at it this way. If building a working COP>1.0 EM system were
really
extremely simple, then all those hundreds of thousands of sharp young
graduate students and post doctoral scientists we have produced at our
universities in the last century would have done this thing a long, long
time ago. They didn't, and neither did their professors. It isn't
simple,
and it isn't in your electricity manual or your electrical engineering
textbook or your electrical engineering professor's head. IF IT WERE,
THE
CONVENTIONAL ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS WOULD HAVE DONE THIS A LONG LONG TIME
AGO,
AND DONE IT VERY, VERY WELL! WE DO PRODUCE VERY SHARP AND CAPABLE
ELECTRICAL
ENGINEERS! WE JUST TEACH THEM A HORRIBLY FLAWED EM MODEL, SO THAT THEY
WILL
NEVER BE ABLE TO DEVELOP A WORKING FREE ENERGY EM POWER SYSTEM IF THEY
BUILD
IT ALWAYS ACCORDING TO THEIR MODEL, EXPERIENCE, AND TRAINING.

Please do some much deeper studying in areas that actually bear on the
overunity problem if you are really serious. Otherwise, with off the
cuff
stuff, you are not even in the ball game and have not even found the
ball
park, much less the game.

Best wishes and hang in there,

Tom Bearden

Dear Webmaster:

My thinking is that the MEG's permanent magnet is able to "strip"
electrical energy from the Earth's magnetic field... which gets it's
energy from the solar wind... which comes from the sun! Is the "vacuum
energy" that Tom Bearden describes just the Earth's magnetic field? I'm
guessing that Tesla's tuned coil work - electrical change pump, in essence
- of the past did the same thing as the MEG does. Any comments?
